EZ Macros supports a small command-line surface.
Open a Macro File
Pass a macro file path as the first non-switch argument.
Example:
EZMacros.exe "C:\Macros\MyMacros.ezm"
Start Minimized
Use /m or -m to start minimized and activate the hotkeys.
Example:
EZMacros.exe /m "C:\Macros\MyMacros.ezm"
Run One Macro by Hot Key
Use /r or -r followed right away by the stored hotkey text.
Example:
EZMacros.exe -r"Ctrl + A" "C:\Macros\MyMacros.ezm"
Notes:
- keep the quotes around the hotkey text
- the hotkey string must match a macro in the loaded file
- if EZ Macros cannot find that hotkey, it shows an error and closes
Desktop Shortcuts
The desktop shortcut feature builds this same kind of command for you. That is the easiest way to create a one-click launcher for a single macro.
When to Use This Page
Use command-line launching when:
- you want Windows or another tool to start one macro directly
- you want a desktop shortcut for a single macro
- you want EZ Macros to start hidden at login or startup
